Fork it.
But I'm not sure I agree this is malicious. Perhaps annoying and even poorly thought out, but malicious implies they are actively trying to undermine the project, rather than trying to find ways to break the project's dependence on Google but missing the mark.
- na85 5y agoFork it, and form a publicly-funded non-profit to continue development for the public good.
- tapoxi 5y agoUnfortunately Mozilla is already a publicly funded nonprofit.
- na85 5y agoWell they're fucking it up, royally, and it seems hard to do worse. I wish they'd stop wasting money on dumb projects like a VPN and instead just focus on making a fast, modern browser that respects my privacy and doesn't fucking show me ads.
- kaba0 5y agoOkay, will you pay for that? I think VPN would be/hopefully will be a great escape rope for Firefox, as it fits well with their privacy orientedness, and does pay somewhat for the development costs.
